Trophy Specialists and Engraving started back in 1991 as Trophy Specialists. Our commitment to doing the job properly has stayed the same ever since.
Today we set ourselves apart from other trophy businesses with a broader range of skills, offering in-house marking, cutting and engraving. We also run sister studios 3D Crystal, Blok Portrait, VisiDepth.
Trophy Specialists opens its doors in the Manawatū.
Martin joins, bringing a draftsman’s eye for detail and technical drawing skill to the shop floor.
Martin purchases the company and broadens what the workshop can do.
A skilled team of 12, marking, cutting and engraving in-house for all of New Zealand.
Unlike competitors who import most of their work or outsource overseas, we control our builds and finish right here within our own facilities.
Operating from the Manawatū and dispatching daily, we supply everyone from local sports clubs, schools and regional manufacturers to major corporate businesses throughout New Zealand. Controlling everything in-house means faster turnarounds, direct communication and fewer shipping delays.
“People usually come to us as they’re marking something meaningful. Our goal is making sure they’re even more satisfied when they leave, holding a product that surpasses what they expected.”
